The Underestimated Power of UGC for Your Listings šŸ’”

Hey there, Amazon rockstars! Ready for a little secret sauce to boost your listings?

Itā€™s all about User Generated Content (UGC)ā€”and trust me, itā€™s more powerful than you think. šŸ“ˆ

Hereā€™s the best part: you donā€™t need fancy equipment or a huge budget. In fact, you can DIY it with the help of friends, family, or even your pets (who doesnā€™t love a cute dog cameo?). šŸ¶

And no, weā€™re not talking about paying Influencers here. This is raw, genuine content from real users. Think of it like getting your customers to do the heavy lifting for you. šŸ˜‰

70% of consumers trust UGC more than traditional ads.

79% say UGC highly impacts their purchasing decisions.

Hereā€™s why itā€™s a no-brainer

  • Better Conversions = Higher Rankings: Amazon loves engagement, and more conversions mean better keyword rankings.

  • Itā€™s FREE: Yes, you heard rightā€”Amazon doesnā€™t charge (yet) for these placements.

  • Prime Real Estate: UGC gets front-and-center visibility on both mobile and desktop.

  • Keeps Buyers Engaged: The longer potential buyers stay on your listing, the better your chances of conversion. šŸ“¹

And remember: if youā€™re not doing it, your competitors are!

How to Get Started šŸŽ¬

Donā€™t worry, creating UGC is easyā€”and fun! Hereā€™s how you can start:

  1. Grab your phone and film videos like:

    • Unboxing

    • How-to tutorials

    • Different ways to use the product

    • Before & after transformations

    • Comparison videos: Show the differences between your product and othersā€”no need to pick sides! Just say, ā€œI found this great product, but I love this one even more.ā€ You get the idea!

  2. Upload them to Amazon in these spots:

    • Upper Carousel: Perfect for product demos. Check out listings like Vital Proteins to see UGC in action!

This listing has 20 videos in the Upper Carousel. Most of them are uploaded by the brand or people who bought it.

When you click on See more videos, The Upper Carousel opens and buyers can scroll through all the videos

  • Lower Carousel: Encourage your happy buyers to upload their videos too! šŸ‘

Pro tip: The most impactful videos are the ones uploaded by real buyers! šŸŽ„šŸ’Ŗ

āœ… Fact: Anyone can upload a video by hitting the "Upload your video" button below this section.

Pro tip: use keywords in the Title of the Video. Itā€™s a good place to feed Rufus!

  • QA Section

Heads up: On Amazon, you can answer any question with text and video. When people search for specific info, your videos will be right there, front and center, to give them the answers they need! šŸŽÆ

Answer product questions with both text and video for maximum impact. Double the info, double the trust.

Pro Tip: Written answers are your secret weapon for sneaking in those ā€œforbidden keywords,ā€ brand names, and more to help with indexing! šŸ˜‰

  • Storefront

Our example, Vital Proteins uses a polished video on their storefront. See it here.

On the flip side, ONERVA packs their storefront(and listings) with tons of real, user-generated content that connects with buyers. Check it out.

Proof in practice

Power Tipsāš”

Donā€™t launch a new product without UGC videos! You can even create them from UGC photos by stitching them together into a quick video with some text overlays.

 Cut these videos into bite-sized ads for video campaignsā€”theyā€™re conversion gold! šŸ…

The Power of Micro-Breaks šŸ§˜ā€ā™€ļø

We all know the grind never stops, but sometimes, the best way to get ahead is to step backā€”just for a moment. Taking micro-breaks (even as short as 5 minutes) can make a world of difference in your productivity, creativity, and overall mood.

Hereā€™s how to do it:

  • Set a timer for every hour of work. When it goes off, stand up, stretch, and walk around for 5 minutes.

  • Change your environment: Step outside for a breath of fresh air or gaze out a window. A quick change in scenery can refresh your mind.

  • Hydrate: Grab a glass of water or your favorite drink (bonus points if itā€™s pink šŸ˜‰).

Micro-breaks arenā€™t just good for your bodyā€”they help your brain reset, making you sharper and more focused when you dive back into work. So, take a little breather and feel the energy shift!

Until next time, keep thriving! šŸŽ‰
